bookUsing Modules

Libraries that you will use provide creating objects of new types with new properties, methods, attributes. Each library has specific documentation with explanations on methods/attrbites/classes provided. Let's remind what methods and objects are.

A method is a function that 'belongs to' an object.

An object is simply a collection of data (variables) and methods (functions) that act on those data.

Some libraries may also export constants - values that don't change during a program's execution. For example,

12345678910
# Importing library from datetime import date # Create new 'date' object d = date(2022, 10, 10) # Applying method to object print(d.isoformat()) # Object attribute print(d.month) # Library constant print(datetime.UTC)
copy
